Walgreens.

My daughter is sick yet again! Everyone at her school now has strep, so of course she had to be a team player! Her doctors office is about 10 miles, maybe a little more, from where we live. So I took Lorelai to the doctors appointment and they said they would fax her antibiotics over to Walgreens on 20th and Main. We drive directly over to Walgreens, come to find out that they haven't faxed her prescription over yet. The woman working in the pharmacy told me to just stick around and it should be faxed shortly and she would call me back as soon as she got it. We walked around walgreens for about an hour before I decided I needed to call her doctors office and ask them what the hold up was. After being on hold for 10 minutes the nurse said she'd fax it right over. I waited at Walgreens for 15 more minutes than got so bored I drove 4 blocks over to my sisters. In the meantime, I observed my friend fix the motorcycle that had caught on fire. I called walgreens, still no prescription, called the doctor and they said they'd fax it. At that point I decided I would drive back to Carl Junction and eat dinner and then drive back to Joplin later. My niece and my daughter have the same docter and this has happened with my sister before. So finally, hours later, I got a text from Walgreens notifying me of the prescription being ready for pick up. I hop in the car and drive back out to Joplin and finally get my daughter started on her antibiotics at like 10pm! There is a Walgreens on every corner now in Joplin. Would it hurt to put just one in Carl Junction?? I'm sure it would benifit the town. Aside from giving the locals a break from driving all the way to Joplin just to go to Walgreens, it would open employment opportunities, it would be a money maker. Other little towns in the area would enjoy it as well. Joplin currently has 3 Walgreens and counting! Every time I go in to town I see a new one being put up! It's the same thing with Walmart. I just wish Carl Junction had a Walgreens!!! It would make life so much easier.
